Sitcom has the last laugh
Alan Crowe sends Sitcom to the front at the final hurdle

Sitcom made up for an unfortunate early exit at Downpatrick earlier this month when taking the mares maiden hurdle in convincing fashion at Cork.
The five-year-old daughter of Oscar unseated at the first at the northern venue but made no mistake here when under a very confident ride from Alan Crowe.
The Christy Roche-trained mare was travelling ominously well in the straight, and cruised alongside 11/4 favourite Chiltern Hills approaching the last.
The 4/1 chance put the race to bed in a few strides when Crowe said go after the last, and she had four and three quarter lengths to spare at the line. Teochew (14/1) kept on under pressure to finish just a short-head further back in third.
Crowe said, “She was always travelling really well, and that makes up for Downpatrick. It was probably a weak race but she did it well.”
